A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
APPROVING A SITE PLAN REVIEW (PLN -18-00102), THEREBY ALLOWING THE
CONSTRUCTION OF TWELVE 1,701 SQUARE FOOT RESIDENTIAL UNITS
LOCATED AT 7224 FLORENCE AVENUE
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Downey does hereby find,
determine and declare that:
A. On June 28, 2018, the applicant filed a request for Site Plan Review and Zone
Change (PLN -18-00102) to construct twelve new dwelling units and the change
the zone from P -B (Parking Buffer) to R-3 (Multiple -Family Residential); and,
B. On July 26, 2018, the applicant was issued a letter deeming the application
incomplete; and,
C. On November 21, 2018, the application was deemed complete after all required
documents were submitted and reviewed; and,
D. On January 24, 2019, the application was again deemed incomplete with
permission from the applicant; and,
E. On June 6, 2019, the application was deemed complete after all required
documents were submitted and reviewed; and,
F. On June 6, 2019, a notice of the public hearing was sent to all property owners
within 500' of the subject site and the notice was published in Downey Patriot;
and,
G, The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on June 19, 2019,
and after fully considering all oral and written testimony, facts, and opinions
offered at the aforesaid public hearing adopted this resolution.
SECTION 2. The Planning Commission further finds, determines and declares that the
proposed project was reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and is categorially exempt from CEQA, pursuant to Guideline Section 15332 (Class 32,
In -Fill Development Projects). Class 32 consists of projects that are consistent with the General
Plan and zoning, on a site that is less than five acres and does not have any protected habitat,
and can be adequately served by utilities. The proposed project meets all of these
requirements, thus qualifies for a Class 32 exemption.
SECTION 3. Having considered all of the oral and written evidence presented to it at
said public hearings regarding the Site Plan Review, the Planning Commission further finds,
determines and declares that:
A. The site plan is consistent with the goals and polices embodied in the General
Plan and other applicable plans and policies adopted by the Council. In addition,
the project's objective to revitalize the site helps achieve various long-term goals.
Specifically, the following policies are promoted by the Site Plan Review:
Resolution No. 19-3095
Downey Planning Commission
Policy 8.1.1 — Promote architectural design of the highest quality.
Policy 8.2.2 — Promote the upgrading of properties.
The proposed architecture is a significant upgrade to the existing facilities on site,
and is compatible in terms of use with surrounding properties although it will be
newer than most developments within its proximity. The redevelopment of this
site has the potential of serving as an example of higher quality architecture for
future developments within the city.
B. The proposed development is in accordance with the purposes and objectives of
this article and the zone in which the site is located. The purpose of the R-3
(Multiple -Family Residential) zone, as stated in the Downey Municipal Code, "is
intended to provide for the development of multiple -family residential living areas
compatible with the neighborhood environment and outdoor recreation potential
of the community. Such areas are envisioned as being located and designed to
be complementary to adjacent uses and at the same time provide suitable space
for multiple -family living quarters." The proposed application is in full
conformance with the objectives stated above.
G The proposed development's site plan and its design features, including
architecture and landscaping, will integrate harmoniously and enhance the
character and design of the site, the immediate neighborhood, and the
surrounding areas of the City. The proposed design of the project will integrate
harmoniously with this area by providing aesthetically pleasing architecture and
landscaping. The renovations to the site serve as a significant upgrade from the
existing facilities. In addition, the streetscape will be enhanced as well as the
transition from the street onto the site through the proposed landscaping,
pedestrian access, and upgraded driveway and driveway approach.
D. The site plan and location of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping,
luminaries, and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been
given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile
and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effects of the development from the
view of the public streets. The site design and overall integration of the
landscaping, building orientation, and driveway access was well -envisioned by
the applicant. The landscaping around the front building fagades creates a nice
transitional buffer between the residences and the public right of way and streets,
particularly Florence Avenue. Exterior light lamps are carefully placed on the
garage entrance and the front porch to ensure both vehicles and pedestrians are
able to move around the site in a safe manner. This project also incorporates
decorative stamped concrete at the driveway entrances to the subject site, thus
preventing a long barren driveway with no visual appeal.
E. The proposed development will improve the community appearance by
preventing extremes of dissimilarity or monotony in new construction or in
alterations of facilities. The proposed project reflects true craftsman style
architecture, and reflects a high quality of architectural design. In addition, it is
staff's opinion that the proposed architectural style is neither dissimilar nor
monotonous from other buildings in the area and this project will upgrade the
overall appearance of the site and, in turn, improve the community appearance.

Resolution No. 19-3095
Downey Planning Commission
Lastly, this proposed development will be keeping with the quality of design
recently approved projects within the city, but will not mimic those improvements.
F. The site plan and design considerations shall tend to upgrade property in the
immediate neighborhood and surrounding areas with an accompanying
betterment of conditions affecting the public health, safety, comfort, and welfare.
The proposed architecture is a significant upgrade to the existing facilities on site,
and is compatible with surrounding properties in terms of use and density
although it will be newer than most developments within its proximity. In addition,
the redevelopment of this site has the potential of serving as an example for
higher quality architecture for future developments within the City of Downey.
Lastly, the operational procedures of the proposed development are also
conditioned in an effort to ensure that any potential effects in public health,
safety, comfort and general welfare are mitigated as much as possible.
G. The proposed development's site plan and its design features will include graffiti -
resistant features and materials in accordance with the requirements of Section
4960 of Chapter 10 of Article IV of this Code. Section 4960 discusses the
installation of anti -graffiti materials and the appropriate allotted time limit for the
removal of graffiti.
SECTION 4. Based upon the findings set forth in Sections 1 through 3 of this
Resolution, the Planning Commission of the City of Downey hereby approves a Site Plan
Review (PLN -18-00102), subject to conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit `A', which
are necessary to preserve the health, safety and general welfare of the community and enable
the Planning Commission to make the findings set forth in the previous sections. The conditions
are fair and reasonable for the accomplishment of these purposes.
SECTION 6. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 19th day,of June 2019.
